WICHITA (AP) – A Kansas man accused of threatening President Barack Obama will have a psychological examination.

U-S District Judge J. Thomas Marten ordered the exam Monday for Michael Scott Ramsey, of Hutchinson. Ramsey will be evaluated for his ability to understand the charges and to properly assist in his defense.

Federal prosecutors requested the exam, and Ramsey’s public defender did not oppose it.

Ramsey was indicted in July on charges of threatening to kill or harm the president in 2009 and again this year.

He was sentenced last month to 3 1/2 years in prison for taking an electronic monitoring device off his ankle last year while on parole for a drug case from 2009. He had been paroled in that case back in April in Harvey County, but absconded and a warrant was issued for his arrest on June 14. He was eventually found, but didn’t have the GPS tracking device on him.

He had also served time for unlawful sexual relations for a case here in Reno County from 2005.
